How this is calculated
We search the Property Price Register for closed sales near this property — matching by location, beds, property type, and where available, floor area (±20%). This gives us a set of genuinely comparable transactions.
Each sale is then time-adjusted to today using local price trends, so a sale from 18 months ago is inflated (or deflated) to reflect current market conditions. Where floor area is known, sales are also size-adjusted — a 90m² sale is normalised to what it would have sold for at this property's size. This means the figures you see aren't raw prices — they're what those same homes would likely sell for today, at this size.
Your bid strategy (opening offer, sealed bid range, walk-away ceiling) is then derived from the statistical distribution of these adjusted sales — with conservative safety margins applied when data is thin or dated.
Every figure comes from actual government-recorded sale prices. No asking prices, no agent estimates, no automated valuations.

Methodology
Closed sales time-adjusted to current market · size-weighted where floor area available · no asking prices or agent estimates used.
How adjustments work
- —Older sales inflated to current market level so stale data doesn't skew bands
- —Similar-sized properties weighted more heavily where floor area is known
- —Local price trends factored in when sufficient data exists; no artificial uplift otherwise
- —All figures from registered closed sales only — no asking prices, no agent estimates
Local Market Notes
Property Quality
BER C2 Potential Savings: While a C2 BER rating is decent, upgrading to a B2 rating could potentially save approximately €500-€800 annually on energy costs compared to its current efficiency, assuming similar usage patterns to a property of this size.
Details
- Investment Opportunity in Upgrades: Based on typical costs for energy efficiency upgrades in Ireland, achieving a B2 BER rating for this 63m² apartment would likely cost between €4,000 - €7,000, potentially increasing its market value by €8,000 - €12,000.
- Standard Apartment Size: At 63m², this apartment is within the typical range for a 2-bedroom unit, offering adequate space for its configuration, though it is slightly smaller than the median of 3 bedrooms observed in the 100km radius data.
- Hypothesis: Given the C2 BER rating, a strategic investment of €4,000-€7,000 in energy efficiency upgrades to achieve a B2 rating could offer a return on investment of 100-200% through increased property value and reduced ongoing energy costs, making it a more attractive proposition against the 100km radius median BER unknown percentage of 100%.
Amenities
Local Transport Links: Athlone is served by Bus Éireann routes that connect to major cities, and the nearest train station, Athlone Station, provides rail access to Dublin, Galway, and other key destinations.
Details
- Shopping Convenience: Nearby amenities include Golden Island Shopping Centre, which houses a variety of retail outlets and supermarkets like Tesco and Dunnes Stores, providing convenient access for daily needs.
- Healthcare Access: UPMC Athlone offers comprehensive healthcare services, and local pharmacies like McCartan's Pharmacy are within easy reach, ensuring essential medical facilities are accessible.
- Hypothesis: The development of a new bypass or improved public transport links connecting Athlone more directly to major urban centers could significantly enhance property values in the Silver Quay area by reducing commuter times and increasing its appeal to a wider buyer pool.
